Many of us would flood your laptop with orders for a tab/chord pdf of your Christmas Song, were it available. What nifty transitions

Do you sell any of your songs on iTunes or amazon? I do love your style and thank you for sharing your talent on YouTube.

[sevensharpeleven]

@tomsmom313 Thanks for your comment! I do have 2 cds available. If you go to my channel here on YT (sevensharpeleven) at the bottom left there are two cd icons that should take you straight to the store. My first cd "Beyond Words" is only available for download (itunes and some other digital stores), my most recent cd "My Favorite Hymns" is not available for download, only the cd itself, and that is available also at several online stores such as cdbaby, amazon, etc. Thanks!
